As the GOP turns more and more to the right, the less they would be able to govern effectively

[MrScorpio]

I'm sure that there a mathematical equation in there somewhere to demonstrate why this is the case.

It's just that I'm not very good at math.

1. Since the right doesn't believe in government

Everything resulting from lax regulation proves our point.

2. what they on the right are entirely adapt at is advertising

not much more.

3. They don't believe in big government until they come to power

Then, while hamstringing some of the most important and constructive parts of government, like oversight and regulation, they expand government in other ways--and install their "Manchurian Candidate" wingnuts to frustrate the effective functioning of the bureaucracy for years to come.

4. i'm not too worried

conservatism is poised to disappear up its own ass

5. Sure hope you're right.

6. They can't govern effectively because.......................

they don't BELIEVE in government. How could anyone logically EXPECT them to govern or at least govern well? If you don't believe in an institution there are only three reasons to have any thing to do with it. Either ideologically to dismantle it or to get what you can out of it OR some combination of the two.
